Lucas 8
1 Te kꞌu riꞌ, ri Jesús e rachiꞌl ri e kabꞌlajuj utijoxelabꞌ, xutzijoj ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, pa taq ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ ri leꞌaj.
Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 E rachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ jujun ixoqibꞌ ri xesax itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike, ri María ri kabꞌix Magdalena che, ri xesax wuqubꞌ itzel taq uxlabꞌal che,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 ri Juana rixoqil ri Cuza, ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri ujastaq ri Herodes, ri Susana xuqujeꞌ e kꞌi ixoqibꞌ ri xkiya ri kirajil chutoꞌik ri Jesús.
Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
4 Jaljoj taq tinimit xepe wi ri winaq xulkila ri Jesús. Are xkimulij kibꞌ kꞌi winaq, ri Jesús xutzijoj we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ chike:
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
5 Jun ajtikolobꞌ xeꞌ pa tikoꞌnijik. Are xukꞌyaq ri ijaꞌ, kꞌo xqaj chuxukut ri bꞌe, xtakꞌaleꞌxik xuqujeꞌ xkitij ri chochiꞌ.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Xqaj kꞌu nikꞌaj puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj, are xkꞌiy loq, ri tikoꞌn xbꞌachꞌuꞌyarik rumal maj rax ulew xuriqo.
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
7 Nikꞌaj chik xqaj chikixoꞌl ri kꞌix, are xkꞌiy loq, xjiqꞌ chuxoꞌl ri kꞌix.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
8 Xqaj kꞌu nikꞌaj pa utz laj ulew, xeꞌl kꞌu loq, xekꞌiyik. Xkiya jujun ciento uwach chkijujunal. Are xtoꞌtaj chubꞌixik we jastaq riꞌ, xubꞌij: Ri kꞌo uxikin chutatabꞌexik, chutatabꞌej.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Ri utijoxelabꞌ xkita che ri Jesús jas kel kubꞌij waꞌ we kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ.
Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
10 Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Yaꞌtal chiꞌwe ix kiwetaꞌmaj ri awatalik che ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, chike kꞌu nikꞌaj winaq chik, rukꞌ kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj kechꞌabꞌexik rech: Pune kekaꞌyik man kakil taj, pune kakito man kakichꞌobꞌ taj.
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
11 Are waꞌ ri kel kubꞌij ri xintzijoj chiꞌwe: Ri ijaꞌ are ri utzij ri Dios.
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Ri e kꞌo chuxukut ri bꞌe, are ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios, ri itzel kꞌut kapetik, karesaj bꞌik ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ rech man kekojon taj xuqujeꞌ man kekolotaj taj.
The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Ri e kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj are ri winaq ri kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri tzij rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal are kakitatabꞌej, maj kꞌu kikꞌaꞌmalil, jubꞌiqꞌ qꞌotaj kakikoj ri tzij, kꞌa te riꞌ keꞌl kanoq are kopan ri kꞌaxkꞌolal.
The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
14 Ri ijaꞌ ri xqaj pa taq ri kꞌix, are ri winaq ri kakito, are kꞌu keꞌ ri junabꞌ kejiqꞌ kan rumal taq ri rajawaxik, ri qꞌinomal, xuqujeꞌ ri jastaq rech ri uwachulew, man kewachin ta kꞌut.
The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 Are kꞌu ri ijaꞌ ri xqaj pa utz laj ulew are ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri tzij rukꞌ ronojel kanimaꞌ, kakiyak ri tzij pa kanimaꞌ, amaqꞌel kewachinik rumal cher amaqꞌel kakichakuj ri utzij ri Dios.
But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
16 Maj jun winaq riꞌ ri kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ kuchꞌuq rukꞌ jun laq. Xane kutzij jun qꞌaqꞌ rech kuya chikaj rech kꞌo kiqꞌaqꞌ ri kok bꞌik pa ri ja.
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
17 Maj jun jastaq ri awatalik ri mat kariqitaj na, xuqujeꞌ maj jun ri awatalik ri mat ketaꞌmataj na kumal konojel ri winaq.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
18 Xaq jeriꞌ chitatabꞌej we riꞌ, ri kꞌo, kꞌo rukꞌ, kꞌo kayaꞌtaj na che, ri maj kꞌo rukꞌ, pune kubꞌij chi rech jun jastaq, kesataj na che.
Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Xopan kꞌu ri unan ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e rachalal chi rilik. Sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq kꞌut e kꞌo pa ri ja e sutininaq chirij ri Jesús, man kekwin taj keqet rukꞌ.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
20 Xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: Ri anan xuqujeꞌ ri awachalal kakaj katkilo, e kꞌo cho le ja.
He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21 Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Are e nunan xuqujeꞌ e wachalal, ri winaq ri kakitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kakichakubꞌej.
But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
22 Jun qꞌijal xaqꞌan ri Jesús pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, xubꞌij chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: Chujqꞌax chꞌaqaꞌp rech le plo.
One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
23 Are e bꞌenaq puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xwar ri Jesús, xpe kꞌu jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri plo, xuchapleꞌj okem ri jaꞌ pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, xuchapleꞌj qajem chuxeꞌ ri jaꞌ, sibꞌalaj xibꞌibꞌal.
As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 Ri tijoxelabꞌ xebꞌe chukꞌasuxik, xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Ajtij, ajtij, kujjiqꞌik. Xwaꞌjil ri Jesús, xuyaj ri kyaqiqꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌ, ri kyaqiqꞌ xtaniꞌk, ronojel xjoriꞌk.
The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
25 Xubꞌij kꞌu chike ri utijoxelabꞌ: ¿Jawjeꞌ kꞌo wiꞌ ri ikojobꞌal? Ri tijoxelabꞌ xemayijanik xuqujeꞌ xkixiꞌj kibꞌ kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ. ¿Jachin waꞌ we achi riꞌ cher kataqan puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri kyaqiqꞌ keniman che?
“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
26 Xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Gadara, ri kꞌo apanoq cho ri Galilea chuchiꞌ ri plo.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27 Ri Jesús are xqaj pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, xuriq jun achi ri kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che upetik pa ri tinimit, we achi riꞌ najtir chik man kukoj ta ratzꞌyaq, xuqujeꞌ man kakꞌojiꞌ ta cho rachoch, xane pa taq ri muqbꞌal kaminaq kakꞌojiꞌ wi.
When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
28 We achi riꞌ are xril ri Jesús, xuraq uchiꞌ, xukulik xqaj choch, rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ xubꞌij: ¿Jas kaj la chwe, Jesús ralkꞌwaꞌl ri nimalaj Dios? Kinta toqꞌobꞌ che la man kabꞌan ta la kꞌax chwe.
When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
29 Jewaꞌ xubꞌij rumal cher ri Jesús xtaqanik rech ri itzel Uxlabꞌal kel bꞌik che ri achi. Kꞌi chi mul ubꞌanom rech che ri achi, pune kajatꞌix ri raqan rachiꞌl ri uqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal xuqujeꞌ kachajixik, kutꞌoqopij kan ri chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal, ri itzel uxlabꞌal kujururej bꞌik pa taq ri kꞌolibꞌal ri katzꞌinowik.
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Ri Jesús xuta che: ¿Jas ri abꞌiꞌ? Legión nubꞌiꞌ, xchaꞌ. Jewaꞌ xubꞌij rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal oꞌkinaq che.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Xkita toqꞌobꞌ che ri Jesús rech kuya bꞌe chike kok chike ri nikꞌaj aq ri tajin keyuqꞌux puꞌwiꞌ ri juyubꞌ. Ri Jesús xuya bꞌe chike.
There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33 Are xel bꞌik ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal che ri achi, xoꞌk chike ri aq, konojel ri aq xebꞌe pa ri plo, xejiqꞌik.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 Are xkil ri aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ ri xbꞌantajik, xaꞌnimajik, xkiya utzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik chike ri winaq pa ri tinimit, xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri leꞌaj.
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
35 Xeꞌl kꞌu bꞌik konojel ri winaq chi rilik ri xbꞌantajik, xeꞌkiriqa ri achi ri xel itzel uxlabꞌal che, tꞌuyul rukꞌ ri Jesús, are xkilo chi utz uwach, xuqujeꞌ ukojom chi ratzꞌyaq xkixiꞌj kibꞌ che.
So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Konojel ri winaq ri xkil ri xkꞌulmatajik xkitzijoj chike ri winaq jas jeꞌ xbꞌan chukunaxik ri achi.
Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Xepe kꞌu ri winaq rech ri tinimit Gadara, xkibꞌochiꞌj ri Jesús, rech kel bꞌik pa ri tinimit, rumal cher sibꞌalaj xkixiꞌj kibꞌ. Ri Jesús xaqꞌan bꞌik pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xel bꞌik pa ri tinimit.
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
38 Ri achi ri xel itzel uxlabꞌal che are xraj xutereneꞌj ri Jesús. Ri Jesús xubꞌij che:
The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
39 Chattzalij cho awachoch, chatzijoj ronojel ri nimaq taq jastaq ri xubꞌan ri Dios awukꞌ. Xtzalij kꞌu ri achi pa ri utinimit, xutzijoj ronojel ri xubꞌan ri Jesús rukꞌ.
“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 Are xtzalij ri Jesús pa Galilea ri winaq ri aꞌyeninaq apanoq xekiꞌkotik are xkil uwach.
When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41 Xopan kꞌu jun achi rukꞌ ri Jesús, ubꞌiꞌ Jairo, jun kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri Sinagoga, xukulik xqaj cho ri Jesús, xuta toqꞌobꞌ che rech keꞌ rukꞌ cho ri rachoch.
Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
42 Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Jairo xa jun umiꞌal kꞌolik, kabꞌlajuj ujunabꞌ raj kꞌu kakamik, ri Jesús kꞌut xeꞌ rukꞌ ri Jairo, are kꞌu ri winaq sibꞌalaj e kꞌi, kakipuyila ri Jesús.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
43 Kꞌo kꞌu jun ixoq chikixoꞌl ri winaq, kabꞌlajuj junabꞌ xaq katuruw ukikꞌel, maj jun ajkun kwininaq chukunaxik.
including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
44 Ri ixoq xqebꞌ chrij ri Jesús, xuchap ri uchiꞌ ri umanta, aninaq xtaniꞌ ri kikꞌ che.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 Ri Jesús xuta chike ri winaq: ¿Jachin xinchapowik? Rumal kꞌu cher kojonel ri winaq xkibꞌij chi man aꞌreꞌ taj xechapow ri Jesús, ri Pedro xubꞌij che: Ajtij e sibꞌalaj kꞌi winaq kakipaqchiꞌj la xuqujeꞌ kakipuyij la.
“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
46 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Kꞌo jun winaq ri xinchapowik. Xinnaꞌo kꞌo chuqꞌabꞌ xel bꞌik chwe.
But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
47 Are xril ri ixoq chi xnabꞌetaj ri xubꞌano, kabꞌiribꞌatik, xukulik xqaj cho ri Jesús, chkiwach konojel ri winaq xutzijoj jas rumal xuchap ri manta, xuqujeꞌ chi aninaq xutzirik.
Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
48 Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Numiꞌal, ri akojobꞌal xatukunaj, jat pa jaꞌmaril.
“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49 Tajin katzijon na ri Jesús, are xopan jun uꞌtaqoꞌn ri kꞌamal bꞌe rech ri Sinagoga, xuꞌbꞌij che: Man kaya ta chi latzꞌ che ri ajtij, xkam ri amiꞌal.
While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
50 Are xuta ri Jesús, xubꞌij che ri Jairo: Man kaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ, we kakojo chi kakunataj ri amiꞌal, kakunatajik.
But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Are xopan ri Jesús cho rachoch ri Jairo, man xuya ta bꞌe xok japachinaq rukꞌ, xwi ri Pedro, Juan xuqujeꞌ ri Jacobo, xuqujeꞌ ri utat unan ri ali.
When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 Ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ, kakibꞌisoj xuqujeꞌ kakoqꞌej ri ali. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike, man kixoqꞌ ta chik, ri ali xaq kawarik, man kaminaq taj.
Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 Ri winaq are xkita we riꞌ xkichapleꞌj uyoqꞌik ri Jesús rumal cher ketaꞌm chi kaminaq chik ri ali.
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Ri Jesús xuchap ri uqꞌabꞌ ri ali, xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq ali.
But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
55 Ri ali aninaq xwaꞌjilik, xtzalij loq ri ranimaꞌ. Ri Jesús kꞌut xtaqan chuyaꞌik uwa ri ali.
Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
56 Sibꞌalaj xemayijan ri utat unan ri ali. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike chi man kakitzijoj ri xkꞌulmatajik che jun chik.
Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
